Love this knife, February 10, 2020Posted By: Bryce - verified customer
This was my first carbon steel knife and it's amazing. It's on the lighter side, which was a surprise coming from heavier, western style knives, but I got used to it quickly and have grown to prefer it a bit. Only put it through its paces a couple times so I can't speak to edge retention, but it came sharp OOB.

Nice knife., November 1, 2019Posted By: Ben - verified customer
Really liking the knife so far. Shaved the hair off my hand, out of the box, no problem. I really like the balance and the fact that it does any cut style I would typically use (tip draw, slice, rocking) easily. I even managed some chopping, which isn’t something I usually do. The knife is asthetically pleasing and I would buy it again. Shipping was fast, even with the free option. No complaints here.

I own several far more expensive knives including other carbon steel ones. I got this one to try out Blue#2 steel and CKTG knives as well. This knife is just a lot of FUN. It holds an edge and is just really cool looking. I can't say thank you enough to CKTG. All my sharpening supplies and stones came from here and I will buy more knives from here as well. Buy this knife, you'll love it.

First impressions, February 5, 2018Posted By: David Blackett - verified customer
Bought this as a gift. Out of the box the finish on the blade and the script was very beautiful. Handle seemed too large for a 210 and I have large hands. Handle also had some discoloration. Weight was WAY off, specs say 5.6oz but it was 6.8oz on the scale, a big difference. 5.6 is that sweet spot but at 6.8 it felt heavy. Sharpness out of the box was not great but have used the steel before and have been impressed.

nice lookin knife, April 21, 2017Posted By: Kendall - verified customer
I bought this knife a few months ago and got it rehandled with dyed tiger maple. It looked so much nicer. Very solid sturdy knife. I haven't used it much because my collection of knives is so vast but I can see it being a good workhorse knife and it looks nice while you use it.

Beautiful knife , January 25, 2017 Blown away, December 23, 2016Posted By: Prkr - verified customer
I've never laid my hands on a knife like this. OOTB sharpness was average, but after just a few minutes on some shapton stones, this thing was shaving the hair from my arm. Beautiful blade, beautiful handle, amazing F&F, and screaming sharp, what more could you ask for? I can't believe this is under two hundred bucks. Thanks Mark!

Amazing knife, May 8, 2015 impressive, December 5, 2014Posted By: Joe - verified customer
very good value for the money. The fit and finish is so so, and its not to sharp otb. But, it takes a very sharp edge. The handle is also just okay, but the knife is only 130$. If you pay 300 plus for a knife the fit, finish otb sharpness, and handle will be much better. If your a chef on a budget this is the knife for you.
